Question
Give reason:
The wall of left ventricle is thicker than right ventricle
Advertisements
Solution
- The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood (less oxygen-containing blood) to the lungs, while the left ventricle of the heart pumps oxygenated blood (oxygen-rich blood).
- The left ventricle pumps blood to all parts of the body, while the right ventricle only pumps blood to the lungs.
- Therefore, the wall of the left ventricle is thicker than the right ventricle.
